One moment, Xi Mu transmigrated, not back to ancient times or into the future, but straight into a full-dive game his studio had just released under his leadership.
Xi Mu: ???
Let me out!!!

The studio's assistant suddenly realized that the boss hadn't come to work for five days. Meanwhile, the newly launched full-dive game, Love and the Rose Garden, now had an NPC who looked exactly like the boss!
Everyone at the studio: ?!!!
Boss! Wait for us, we'll get you out!!!

Late at night, a post suddenly appeared on the 18+ board of the game's forum:
[Discussion: How on earth do you win over that straight-laced NPC in Love and the Rose Garden?]
Within ten minutes, the post had received over 999 replies, instantly becoming the board's hottest thread.
"He wasn't even there last week, then suddenly they added a new character this week. The official team is being way too generous! Here I come, pretty boy!"
"The cutie wants nothing at all. He's so hard to win over. He won't even smile at me, but he's all smiles with the other NPCs!"
"Honey, honey, I love you! Please, just give me one smile, I'm begging you orz"
"Look at the new official announcement! You can livestream playing with your sweetheart!!!"

Xi Mu, who was constantly being harassed by NPCs trying to cop a feel or touch his face and legs, had grown used to it. But could someone explain why an unknown pair of hands kept stroking his hair even while he slept???
Fed up, Xi Mu thought the people back at the studio had finally found a way to rescue him. He eagerly clicked the notification, only to find these options:
[Choose your outfit for today: 1. Sailor uniform 2. Maid outfit 3. JK school uniform]
Xi Mu: Either way, it's a pile of crap ^_^
The players zoomed in on the screen, trying to make out what the little NPC had written on the paper. They slowly deciphered it, word by word: "Pull that stunt again and I'll kill you."
Everyone: !!!
Xi Mu: A handsome, straight-laced guy who doesn't realize he's a natural flirt, outwardly cold but warm inside, softhearted and gentle
